Calculate the momentum of a 1800 kg elephant charging a hunter at a speed of 7.50 m/s.
1 answer:
The amount of movement, linear momentum, momentum or momentum is a physical quantity derived from a vector type that describes the movement of a body in any mechanical theory. In classical mechanics, the amount of movement is defined as the product of body mass and its velocity at a given time.
p= mv
Where,
m = mass
v = Velocity
Our values are given as,
Replacing we have that,
Therefore the momentum is

Answer:
The magnitude is "3.8 m/s²", in the upward direction.
Explanation:
The given values are:
Mass,
m = 88 kg
Scale reads,
T = 900 N
As we know,
⇒
On substituting the given values, we get
⇒
⇒
Now,
⇒
On substituting the given values in the above equation, we get
⇒
On subtracting "862.4" from both sides, we get
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒ (upward direction)
